Solution Overview
Problem
Existing aligning devices for electronic components face issues with positional displacement, tilting, cracking, and chipping due to gaps and foreign material entry, which affects the efficiency and reliability of component alignment and production.
Innovation Solution
The proposed aligning device employs a dual-jig system with overlapping recesses and through holes to securely transfer and align components, allowing for efficient removal of foreign material and preventing contact with inner surfaces, thus maintaining component integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the gap between electronic chip component and accommodation recess is increased, then the electronic chip component can be transferred more easily into the accommodation recess, but positional displacement and tilting of the electronic chip component occur
Solution Approach 1:
The accommodation recess is divided into two segments: a first recess at the bottom and a second recess above it. The first recess has a larger opening than the second recess, creating a funnel-like structure that guides the electronic chip component during transfer while maintaining precise positioning. This segmentation allows easy transfer through the larger opening while preventing displacement through the constrained second recess.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a vertical dimension to the recess structure by stacking the first and second recesses in the depth direction. This vertical arrangement creates a multi-level accommodation system where the component can be easily inserted from the top opening and then constrained in the lower portion, solving both transfer ease and positioning precision requirements.
2Reliability
If foreign material enters the accommodation recess, then the electronic chip component protrudes and tilts, but cracking and chipping occur when the component contacts the guide plate
Solution Approach 1:
The second recess acts as a cushioning zone that accommodates foreign material before it can cause damage. When foreign material enters, the component can protrude into the second recess without contacting the guide plate, as the second recess provides a buffer space that prevents direct contact and potential cracking or chipping.
Solution Approach 2:
The second recess serves as an intermediary space between the component and the guide plate. This intermediate zone allows the component to protrude when foreign material is present, preventing direct contact with the guide plate and eliminating the harmful effect of mechanical stress that would cause cracking or chipping.
3Manufacturing precision
If the accommodation recess depth is increased to prevent component protrusion, then positioning stability improves, but transfer efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The accommodation recess is segmented into two parts with different depths and opening sizes. The first recess provides deep stabilization for positioning, while the second recess with its larger opening facilitates easy transfer. This segmentation allows the system to achieve both deep positioning stability and efficient transfer without compromise.
Solution Approach 2:
By arranging the first and second recesses in the vertical dimension, the invention creates a multi-level structure where the lower first recess provides deep positioning stability while the upper second recess with larger opening enables efficient transfer. This vertical dimensionality resolves the contradiction between depth and accessibility.

AI summary
In an aligning device, in plan view, a first recess of a first transfer jig allows an entire region of a second recess of the first transfer jig to be situated within the first recess of the first transfer jig by a predetermined interval. When the first transfer jig and the second transfer jig overlap each other, the first recess of the second transfer jig allows the entire region of the second recess of the first transfer jig to be situated within the first recess of the second transfer jig by a predetermined interval. With the alignment object being transferred into a cavity of the first transfer jig, by causing the first transfer jig and the second transfer jig to overlap each other, the alignment object is transferred from the cavity of the first transfer jig to a cavity of the second transfer jig.
